Over 1000 github stars! Wow! The latest release of Phaser represents another hard months work by the development team and the community at large. We've had some great contributions and have not let-up the pace of innovating and pushing Phaser forward. As we march towards the end of 2013 we do so knowing that with every passing month more and more developers are using Phaser, and more games are being made. All while it is getting stronger with each release.

As you may know we had planned to release 1.1.4 at the end of 2013. For various reasons this didn't quite happen, but we're happy to announce it's finally out! There have been some dramatic changes internally, and if you make use of either the physics systems or tilemaps then you are going to need to update your code. Hopefully only a little bit, but there have been a number of core API changes which we detail below. There are also a host of new features, the headliners being:

Our plan is to end 2013 with one final point release (1.1.4 - "Kandor") and then we'll start planning out the features we wish to see in version 1.2 in the New Year.
28
+
* New Physics system. Uses SAT.js internally so physics bodies can now be rectangles, circles or polygons and support rotation.
29
+
* New Tilemap system. Brand new collision system for tiles, much more advanced layer handling, tile properties, multiple tilesets of layer and more.
30
+
* New Timer. This handy new class lets you create timed events easily.
31
+
* Your Game can now be configured from an external configuration object.
32
+
* Over 150 new features and updates and over 30 reported bug fixes.

As always we offer a heart-felt "Thank you!" to everyone who has encouraged us along the way. To those of you who worked with Phaser during its various incarnations, and who released full games with it despite there being zero API documentation available back then: you are our heroes. It's your kind words and enthusiasm that has kept us going.
34
+
This release also brings the TypeScript definitions file as bang up to date as possible. There are still a few areas that need looking at, but with your help hopefully we can iron those final few bits out and have a 100% accruate defs file on offer.

Phaser is everything we ever wanted from an HTML5 game framework. It powers all of our client work in build today and remains our single most important product, and we've only just scratched the surface of what we have planned for it.

There is a new Contributors Guide which we'd urge you to follow if you wish to help with Phaser development, and we've updated the doc files and added lots more details into key areas. The Examples have grown too! Now over 220 of them including several great ones from the community.

We're going to settle on this build for a short while as we do some quick iteration bug fixing, so expect to see some small point releases very soon that do nothing but address any issues you may find. But in parallel to this we are also now rebuilding our core to bring it in-line with the latest version of Pixi.js, which has had some dramatic changes under the hood, changes will impact a lot of what Phaser does internally. But the changes are all for the better and once we upgrade Pixi you'll have a significantly faster renderer and a smaller codebase too, as we do away with stacks of linked list code :)
